Right outside Wimbledon Station you can find Centre Court, a local shopping centre that has all the basic amenities you need. On the upper level inside there is even a gallery featuring artists from all around London!
New Wimbledon Theatre is an iconic landmark in the heart of Wimbledon Town Centre. At over 100 years old it has hosted some of the biggest shows in the world and continues to do so, presenting a mix of comedies, musicals, and dramas for everyone to enjoy.
The Broadway runs directly through Wimbledon Town Centre, and it is lined with great restaurants, lively bars and pubs, and independent boutiques that will catch your eye as you walk by.
